This is the second visit to this beautiful houseboat for ourselves and friends. Location is stunning, very comfortable and the decor is really lovely, with a ‘sea creature’ theme throughout. A great deal of thought has gone into the design and furnishing of this property. There is nothing you could want for. We would highly recommend it....

Our third stay on Fortune in the first week of October when dogs are allowed on all the IoW beaches. Two of us lived there over 60 years ago for a short while and love revisiting all our old haunts - so many lovely places to go to and Bembridge and Seaview are great for pubs and restaurants. When we walk through the unassuming front door we are still surprised into a broad smile at the utterly fabulous design and views from the main deck. A brilliant piece of architecture that is a real pleasure to stay in. The owner and Classic are always helpful if something needs attention and we hope to be back again next year. There are only three of us so we have masses of space but feel Fortune is so unique it is well worth it!...
